More VA spending goes under investigation

The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee chairman opened investigations on Veterans Affairs Department’s recent conferences held in Las Vegas and in Arizona, NextGov reported Aug. 28.

Chairman Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) said his committee added the conferences to its list of other conferences under review. Those conferences were held in 2011 in Orlando and cost an estimated $5.3 million. Miller also said he plans to hold a hearing in September on conference spending.

OPM is partnering with CSID to try to manage the fallout from a massive breach of some 4 million federal personnel records.

Go Jeff Miller. Vet or not a Vet has no relevance here. It's about $$$$ and being accountable for the taxpayers money.
